swamptooth,

Notice how Sonitus HPF @ 80Hz and Q=1.0 slopes differently than FabFilter-Q Low Cut @ 80Hz and Q=1.0.




If you look at the actual numbers, these aren't actually THAT different. The graph scales are the biggest difference. Notice Sonitus goes down to -18dB and FabFilter goes to -12dB? Check crossover points. FabFilter is definitely still steeper, without a doubt, but this goes to show how it's important to not rely on graphs as well! The difference is not as great as one might first assume from just a quick glance. And who says those graphs are even accurate to what's happening in the first place?!

mike,


Thanks for the graphics on the Sonitus EQ and how to make a sharp slope. I've always have tried e to make it like you have here but was never very successful.

If you use Sonitus or any other EQ to set up a multi-order or multi-pole example of what ever filter it has... you can have some extra control over the slope. Many filter names are associated with multi-order math and it is simply implicit in the naming.

Take a look at this as an example:





I wish I knew more about EQ filters and the math but it requires specific study and a real good teacher.

I'm still looking for that teacher. :-) Hopefully someday I'll get there.


all the best,
mike
